Description
The S.A.F.E. EMDR Toolkit is the 242-page Clinical Reference Manual plus the working files PTI graduates use in session: fillable treatment-planning worksheets, The Answer tools, resourcing scripts, protocol quick guides and client handouts, as individual PDF downloads.
Developed by Deborah Kennard, MS, founder of Personal Transformation Institute and developer of Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR, these are the same materials used in PTI’s EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training.
